The classic striped Gran Torino is back, and this time youre the funky badass behind the wheel, careening through traffic to wa-wa pedal beats. In this nostalgia-fueled thrill ride, you get to chase perps, lay rubber, and even bribe Huggy Bear (voiced by Antonio I need work Fargas himself), all without having to struggle with flyaway hair and ball-punishing tight jeans. Although its mostly Crazy Taxilike driving, a cooperative mode lets one player take the wheel while another takes potshots at bad guys with a peripheral light gun at the same time. If it werent for mediocre graphics and some sloppy controls, this could easily compete with the Starsky & Hutch lunchbox for our affection.
